True to scale

A file is true to scale when it carries the real measurements of the original, so it can be printed, plotted or projected without any conversion.

In the file

PatternScan Pro exports in millimetres. The quickest check is to measure a known distance on the original and compare it with the same edge in the editor. If they differ, the scale correction adjusts the piece to the real measurement.
